STRANGER ! whoe’er thou art, that from below This grass-green hill, with Heady Heps doH press: Shed fympathctic tears; for Hranger know, Here lies the son of Sorrow and Dijlrtjs. Although his foul with every virtue mov’d j Tho* at his birth deceitful fortune fmil’d, In one fad hour, too fatally he lov’d ? Ealfe fortune frown’d, and he was Sorrow ’s child. Heaven gave him paflions, as the virtue gave; But gave not power those paflions to suppress : By them fubdu’d he (lumbers in the grave— The soul’s laH refuge from terrene diHrefs. Around his tomb, the fweeteH grass ihall spring j And annual flowers (hall ever blossom here; Here fairy forms their loveliefl gifts fliall bring, And palling Arangers (hed the pitying tear.
